287: Chapter 287 Shattering the Boundary Barrier and the Chaotic Star Sea

Above the firmament of the True Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens Astral Wind that originally enveloped the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace had now completely transformed into a void of Chaos.

With the fall of the Heavenly Emperor and the total annihilation of the thirty-six Dao Ancestors, this world lost its core suppression of Laws. The massive boundary wall that maintained the isolation between the True Immortal Realm and the external starry sky was like a withered fruit that had lost its vitality, its surface beginning to show countless deep and terrifying cracks.

Zhou Wannian stood with his hands behind his back within this collapsing void.

His ordinary Green Robe fluttered slightly in the surrounding spatial turbulence that raged madly, yet it did not suffer even the slightest bit of damage. Those violent astral winds, sufficient to instantly tear a Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivator into pieces, were silently smoothed out by an invisible and supreme power of Law when they came within three feet of his body, turning into the gentlest of breezes that slid past the corners of his clothes.

He slowly turned around and took one last look at this world where he had once set foot.

Below in the Juntian Immortal Domain, countless immortal mountains collapsed and rivers flowed backward. Having lost the forced gathering of the Heavenly Court's Zhou Heaven Spirit-Gathering Array, those thick clouds of Immortal Qi that were once too dense to disperse were now madly escaping through the cracks in the boundary wall toward the endless starry sky outside. Every Cultivator in the entire True Immortal Realm was currently plunged into unprecedented panic and despair. The Heavenly Dao Laws they relied on for survival were collapsing and disintegrating bit by bit before their eyes.

But in Zhou Wannian's eyes, the cycle of birth and death in this world was merely an ordinary blooming and falling of flowers.

Zhou Wannian spoke softly to himself in a steady tone, "Borrowed prosperity must eventually be returned one day. This pond of the True Immortal Realm is too small; it cannot raise a true Dragon of the Nine Heavens, nor can it trap the footsteps of me, Zhou Wannian."

He paid no mind to the billions of living beings below who were crying out for help. The ruthlessness and compassion of the Great Dao had long been encompassed by the perfect Laws of his inner universe. He only acted according to his own original heart, untouched by Karma and unstained by dust.

Zhou Wannian turned back, his gaze falling upon the largest crack in the boundary wall ahead.

Behind the crack was a deep, dark, and vast star sea filled with endless Chaos and the unknown. There was no distinction between up, down, left, or right, nor was there any regular movement of the sun, moon, or stars. There were only violent chaotic air currents, floating remains of stars, and those terrifying starry sky behemoths lurking faintly in the darkness.

That place was the true Major Thousand Worlds, the Chaos Star Sea where the myriad worlds intersected.

Zhou Wannian took a steady step forward.

He did not perform any world-shattering boundary-breaking Spells, nor did he sacrifice the half-step Xuantian Treasure, the void-splitting ruler, to slash open the path ahead.

He simply lifted his right foot with extreme casualness, as if stepping over the threshold of his own courtyard, and directly entered that crack in the boundary wall.

Buzz.

Accompanied by a dull vibration that only the Divine Soul could hear, Zhou Wannian's figure completely disappeared from within the domain of the True Immortal Realm. At the moment he left, that massive crack in the boundary wall could no longer withstand the pulling of the surrounding Laws and collapsed with a roar.

The True Immortal Realm was completely reduced to an unprotected, semi-open world.

And Zhou Wannian was already situated within that boundless Chaos Star Sea.

The environment here was harsh beyond imagination. There was no Immortal Qi, only chaotic air currents filled with tyrannical, destructive, and assimilating power. These currents were like mad venomous snakes, trying to bore into Zhou Wannian's body at every opportunity to completely assimilate his Physical Body and Divine Soul into the dust of the starry sky.

If an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal were to accidentally fall into this place, they would not even last half a breath before their Dao perished. Even an average Grand Unity Realm Dao Ancestor would have to constantly push their Lifebound Treasure and protective immortal light to their full capacity just to barely protect themselves in this Chaos Star Sea, and they simply could not stay for long.

But Zhou Wannian appeared exceptionally at ease.

He stood in the void, allowing those violent chaotic air currents to wash over his body.

The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art formed its own world within his body. One hundred and eight time dao patternss, like one hundred and eight eternal and indestructible stars, slowly spiraled within his Qi Sea.

The chaotic currents that attempted to invade his body were forcibly suppressed the moment they touched his flesh by his True Demon Indestructible Body, which was impervious to all techniques. Immediately after, the power of the Five Elements Origin transformed into a massive grinding stone, crushing and refining those tyrannical chaotic forces bit by bit.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—the five most fundamental powers of Law—were continuously stripped from the chaotic currents, then transformed into unimaginably pure Origin of the Great Dao, which incessantly merged into Zhou Wannian's entire body.

While this Chaos Star Sea was a fatal dead end for others, for Zhou Wannian, who had already created his own inner universe, it was an inexhaustible and boundless super treasury.

Zhou Wannian took a deep breath.

Zhou Wannian spoke in a relaxed tone, "Although the aura here is wild and coarse, it is much purer than the Immortal Qi in the True Immortal Realm that has been filtered countless times. This is the most original scent from when heaven and earth first opened."

With his hands behind his back, he began to stroll through this boundless star sea.

There was no specific direction, nor any urgent purpose. He simply followed a sense of relaxation, taking things as they came, walking forward step by step.

He had no footing beneath him, yet the Space Law of Great Perfection allowed him to walk on the void as if on level ground. What seemed like a slow pace actually crossed thousands of miles of starry distance with every step. The star remains and chaotic storms behind him receded rapidly, turning into blurred shadows of light.

A golden light poked its head out from his sleeve; it was precisely the Gold-Devouring Immortal, Golden Boy.

Golden Boy had just finished a feast in the ruins of the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, and its entire body was currently radiating a dazzling dark-golden light. Its bean-sized eyes curiously surveyed the strange star sea around it. When it sensed the aura of those violent star fragments and high-grade Ores in the air, it immediately let out a crisp insect chirp in excitement.

It flew out from Zhou Wannian's sleeve, turning into a streak of golden lightning, and charged directly toward a massive meteorite floating in the star sea nearby.

That meteorite was pitch black all over, emitting a bone-chilling coldness. It was actually a piece of Star Core Cold Iron that had been nurtured in the star sea for billions of years. Materials of this level, if placed in the True Immortal Realm, would be enough to make those Artifact Refining Grandmasters fight to the death over it.

Golden Boy pounced onto the meteorite and opened its abyss-like little mouth, making ear-piercing 'crunching' sounds. The incredibly hard Star Core Cold Iron was like a crispy pastry in its mouth, and before long, a huge chunk had been eaten away.

Zhou Wannian stopped his pace and hovered in mid-air, quietly watching Golden Boy feast.

He did not hurry it; instead, he took out that familiar purple clay tea set from his storage ring. Amidst the violent chaotic storms nearby, a wisp of Primordial Sun Essence Fire flickered from his fingertip as he unhurriedly began to boil a pot of spiritual spring water.

The water boiled, the tea was added, and the water was poured.

His movements were still as fluid as flowing water, without a trace of worldly haste.

In the terrifying star sea that could tear apart a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a youth in a Green Robe was leisurely savoring tea while watching a dark-golden beetle devour a meteorite. If anyone else were to see this scene, they would surely think they had fallen into some absurd and surreal illusion.

Once the pot of tea was finished, Golden Boy finally finished eating the massive piece of Star Core Cold Iron. It let out a satisfied burp, and a faint layer of ghostly blue cold light appeared on its carapace. It flew back to Zhou Wannian's shoulder, affectionately nuzzled his cheek, and then crawled back into his sleeve to continue sleeping and digesting.

Zhou Wannian put away the tea set and brushed off his long robe.

Zhou Wannian said in a steady tone, "Now that you're full, let's continue on our way. This star sea is boundless; there ought to be some scenery that can catch one's eye."

He took his steps once more, heading toward the deeper parts of the star sea.

An unknown amount of time passed, as time seemed to lose its meaning in this Chaos Star Sea. Perhaps it was a few days, perhaps a few years.

In his line of sight ahead, the originally monotonous darkness and chaotic currents began to show some regular changes.

An ancient road, connected by countless brilliant star remains and massive bronze chains, abruptly stretched across the boundless star sea. This road was incredibly wide, like an ancient dragon coiled in the depths of the Universe, emitting a grand aura of eternal vicissitudes that suppressed the heavens.

The Ancient Starry Sky Path.

This was a void passage forcibly carved out in the Chaos Star Sea by those ancient and powerful starry sky forces to cross between different domains for trade and conquest. To be able to establish such a massive project in the Chaos Star Sea, the foundation of the force behind it definitely far surpassed the Heavenly Court of the True Immortal Realm.

Zhou Wannian's gaze extended along this Ancient Starry Sky Path.

At the end of the ancient road stood a starry sky fortress so massive it was suffocating.

That fortress was constructed entirely from two massive planets that had been smashed and joined together. The surfaces of the planets were cast with heavy dark-golden Starry Sky Divine Iron, densely inscribed with countless Dao runes emitting destructive light. In the center of the fortress hovered a bronze gate a hundred thousand feet high. Above the gate hung a black plaque emitting a terrifyingly fierce aura, with four large characters written in ancient Starry Sky Divine Script:

Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass.

This was a checkpoint established by a super force in the Chaos Star Sea called the 'Boundless Star Palace.' It was specifically responsible for monitoring and suppressing over a hundred lower-tier planes nearby, while also extorting those wandering Cultivators who attempted to set foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Path.

In the void around the fortress, thousands of massive starry sky warships were moored. These warships had hideous designs, their entire bodies emitting a cold metallic luster and powerful Law fluctuations. Squads of pass-guarding soldiers, wearing dark red armor and riding various hideous starry sky behemoths, patrolled back and forth around the ancient road.

Zhou Wannian's expression remained as usual as he stepped onto this ancient road paved with star remains and walked toward that massive Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass.

His pace was still neither fast nor slow, his hands behind his back, his Green Robes elegant.

On the Ancient Starry Sky Path, one could occasionally see other Cultivators also on the move. They either rode in luxurious starry sky flying boats or were pulled by powerful starry sky exotic beasts. There were even some experts whose cultivation had reached the Grand Unity Realm, traveling in groups, their bodies flashing with light as they remained fully alert to resist the chaotic storms that occasionally seeped in around the ancient road.

An existence like Zhou Wannian, who relied on no Magic Treasures and strolled leisurely alone on the ancient road, appeared exceptionally conspicuous.

Soon, his actions caught the attention of the patrol guards of the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass.

A patrol squad consisting of ten guards in dark red armor, riding massive, winged Void Magic Wolves, whistled down from mid-air and blocked Zhou Wannian's path.

The cultivation of these guards was, at the lowest, the Late Stage of the Taiyi Realm. The leader, a captain, emitted the powerful pressure of the Early Stage of the Grand Unity Realm. They carried a thick scent of blood, clearly being ruthless characters who spent years fighting in the star sea, living on the edge of a blade.

The leading captain looked down at Zhou Wannian from his high vantage point. He held a long spear emitting thunderous light, his gaze scanning Zhou Wannian up and down.

When he discovered that he actually could not see through the cultivation of the green-robed youth before him, and could not even perceive a single ripple of Law, a flash of wariness crossed his eyes. However, on the territory of the Boundless Star Palace, his arrogance had long become a habit.

The Red-armored Captain's voice was coarse, filled with unquestionable arrogance, as he shouted his inquiry.

The Red-armored Captain shouted loudly, "Halt! Ahead is the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass under the jurisdiction of the Boundless Star Palace. Looking at the aura on your body, you have no Dao Seal from any starry sky force. Which recently collapsed Lower Realm are you a refugee from?"

In the Chaos Star Sea, lower-tier planes would often be destroyed due to the collapse of Laws. Those Cultivators who were lucky enough to escape would often become targets for capture by various starry sky forces, to be enslaved and sent to the depths of the star sea to mine dangerous mineral veins.

Zhou Wannian's pure aura, devoid of any Dao Seal, and his action of walking on foot made the captain instinctively categorize him as a homeless refugee from the Lower Realm.

Facing this condescending interrogation, Zhou Wannian did not even pause his footsteps for a moment.

He slightly raised his head, his deep eyes calmly looking at the Void Magic Wolf blocking his way, as if he didn't even see the Red-armored Captain on its back.

Zhou Wannian spoke in a steady tone, devoid of any emotion.

Zhou Wannian said indifferently, "I am just passing through. Move aside."

The simple words carried an extreme sense of relaxation that regarded all things as nothing.

The Red-armored Captain was first stunned, then he laughed out of extreme anger. He had been stationed at the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass for years and was used to seeing those Lower Realm Cultivators trembling with fear when they first entered the star sea. Never before had a refugee without even a Dao Seal dared to speak to him in such a commanding tone.

The Red-armored Captain fiercely brandished his thunderous spear, the tip pointing directly at Zhou Wannian's brow.

The Red-armored Captain roared with a hideous expression, "You ignorant fool! At this Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass, the rules of the Boundless Star Palace are the heavens. No matter how majestic a Dao Ancestor you were in the Lower Realm, once you reach this star sea, if you're a dragon, you must coil; if you're a tiger, you must crouch. Since you don't know what's good for you, then obediently put on this Star Spirit-Forbidden Lock and go do hard labor for a hundred thousand years!"

Before his voice had even faded, he flipped his left hand, and a massive locking net condensed from dark-golden Starry Sky Laws appeared out of thin air. The net was covered in dense barbs and flickered with the eerie light of sealed immortal power as it came crashing down toward Zhou Wannian's head.

This Star-Stilling Spirit-Locking Net was a Sharp Weapon specifically designed by the Boundless Star Palace to deal with Daluo Realm Cultivators. Once entangled by it, even a powerhouse of the Daluo Realm Middle Stage would have their entire cultivation base Seal instantly, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered.

Facing this lethal locking net pouncing toward him, Zhou Wannian still did not make any defensive movements.

He didn't even draw his hands from behind his back.

He just stood there quietly, watching the massive net descend.

Zhou Wannian commented in a relaxed tone, "The rules in the Star Sea are just like those in the True Immortal Realm—all decadent and boring tricks. They always like to use these unpresentable things to test others."

The moment the dark-gold Star-Stilling Spirit-Locking Net was less than a foot away from the top of Zhou Wannian's head.

Great Five Elements Illusory World Art, Space Law, Great Perfection.

One hundred and eight time dao patternss within his body trembled slightly.

There was no sound at all.

In the Void Realm within three feet of Zhou Wannian's body, an absolute vacuum fault seemed to appear. That indestructible locking net, containing the Daluo Seal Law, the moment it touched this invisible fault, it was as if it had struck an invisible shredder.

The hard Starry Sky Law chains began to shatter inch by inch from the point of contact, turning into extremely fine dark-gold powder. The speed of this pulverization exceeded the limits of the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, that imposing locking net completely vanished into nothingness in the breeze, without a single trace left behind.

The cruel grin on the Red-armored Captain's face instantly froze.

His eyes, which were full of ferocity from years of slaughter, widened uncontrollably at this moment, his pupils contracting violently.

How could this be possible?

That was a Magic Treasure bestowed by the Boundless Star Palace, a Star Spirit-Forbidden Lock that could even trap those in the Daluo Realm Middle Stage. How could it have mysteriously turned to fly ash before even touching the opponent's body?

An unprecedented chill rushed from the Red-armored Captain's soles straight to the top of his head. He finally realized that the Green Robe youth before him, who appeared to be no threat at all, was definitely not some Lower Realm refugee, but a deeply hidden old monster of the Star Sea.

Fear swallowed his reason in an instant.

The Red-armored Captain roared in a shrill voice, "Form the array! Kill him!"

He suddenly clamped his legs around the Void Magic Wolf beneath him, and the Thunder Spear in his hand erupted with eye-piercing light, carrying all the Law power of the Daluo Realm Early Stage Peak, like a bolt of lightning piercing through the star river, it stabbed fiercely toward Zhou Wannian's chest.

The other nine guards of the Taiyi Realm Late Stage also attacked simultaneously, their nine Starry Sky Battle Blades emitting a cold light as they wove into a seamless net of blades, sealing off all of Zhou Wannian's paths of retreat.

Ten people joining forces with perfect coordination—this was a certain-kill array sufficient to strangle powerful enemies in the Star Sea.

However.

Facing this thunderous siege.

Zhou Wannian finally slowly drew his right hand from behind his back.

He did not form any Seals, nor did he sacrifice any earth-shattering Magic Treasure. He simply bent his index finger slightly and gave an extremely casual, gentle flick toward the Red-armored Captain rushing at the very front.

*Ding.*

A crisp and ethereal sound of a finger flicking rang out on this Ancient Starry Sky Path.

The sound wasn't loud, yet it strangely drowned out all the thunder and wind, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

With that finger flick.

A terrifying power that could not be described in words and which reigned supreme over the Laws of this Star Sea erupted from Zhou Wannian's fingertip.

That was the perfect Fusion of Great Perfection Space Collapse and Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration.

In mid-air.

The Red-armored Captain's thrusting Thunder Spear abruptly halted several yards away from Zhou Wannian's fingertip.

Immediately after.

There was no flesh and blood flying, nor were there any shrill screams.

Starting from the tip of the spear, that high-grade Starry Sky Magic Treasure was as if it had undergone hundreds of millions of years of weathering, instantly turning into gray-white powder. This power of disintegration followed the spear, spreading irresistibly to the Red-armored Captain's arms, body, and even that massive Void Magic Wolf beneath him.

In a ten-thousandth of a breath.

A captain of the Daluo Realm Early Stage, along with his mount and Magic Treasure, was directly erased of all traces of existence in mid-air. They turned into a cloud of extremely fine fly ash, which completely dissipated without a trace when blown by the breeze of the Star Sea.

It wasn't just him.

The nine Taiyi Realm guards who had rushed forward waving their battle blades hadn't even reacted to why their captain had disappeared before that terrifying wave of disintegration swept over their bodies.

*Puff, puff, puff.*

Nine consecutive extremely faint muffled sounds.

Nine Starry Sky Elites of the Taiyi Realm Late Stage were like punctured soap bubbles, all turning into nine clouds of gray powder in mid-air, scattering onto the cold star remnants of the ancient road.

An instant kill.

Whether in the True Immortal Realm or in this vast Chaos Star Sea.

Before Zhou Wannian's absolutely relaxed and crushing strength, Realm and numbers had already lost their meaning.

The Ancient Starry Sky Path instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Those passing Cultivators who were originally watching from a distance were all now frozen in place with fear, even their breathing stopped. They stared wide-eyed at the Green Robe youth, who was completely unharmed and whose clothes were not even slightly disheveled, their hearts churning with stormy waves.

In the flick of a finger, erasing one Daluo and nine Taiyi. Such an effortless method, as if brushing away dust, even those high-level Elders of the Boundless Star Palace might not be able to do it so cleanly.

Zhou Wannian withdrew his right hand, his expression still as calm as water.

He didn't spare a single glance at the remaining fly ash on the ground. To him, killing these few people was like kicking away a pebble blocking his path while walking.

He took steady steps, continuing toward that massive Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass.

However, the commotion here had already alerted the defensive hub deep within the star pass.

Accompanied by a piercing alarm sound echoing through the Star Sea.

On the two massive planets that made up the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass, countless dark-gold runes flashed frantically. The massive fortress was like an awakening ancient beast, emitting a terrifying pressure that made the Divine Soul tremble.

Atop the star pass walls, hundreds of thousands of dark-red armored guards surged out like a tide, quickly forming massive starry sky battle arrays. Over a thousand Starry Sky Giant Cannons, capable of shattering asteroids, all turned their muzzles in unison, locking onto Zhou Wannian as he strolled along the ancient road.

At the very top of the fortress, a phantom ten thousand feet tall slowly emerged.

It was a burly giant clad in heavy armor and holding a massive axe. The aura emanating from him had already reached the Daluo Realm Late Stage Peak, with faint signs of stepping half a step into a higher Realm.

This person was the supreme commander of the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass, one of the twelve Palace Masters of the Boundless Star Palace, Mad Axe Dao Ancestor.

Mad Axe Dao Ancestor's eyes, which were like two blazing suns, stared fixedly at Zhou Wannian below. His gruff voice was like rolling thunder, exploding in the Star Sea.

Mad Axe Dao Ancestor roared in rage: "What audacity! To actually dare to kill the guards of my Boundless Star Palace in front of the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass. No matter what your background is, you must leave your life here today. All troops hear my command, activate the 'Heavenly Cycle Star Remnant Execution Array'. Grind this person into nothingness for this seat!"

Following his command.

The entire Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass erupted with unprecedentedly piercing light.

The two massive planetary fortresses began to rotate violently, and countless star remnants floating in the surrounding Star Sea were forcibly pulled over, turning into millions of meteors gathering above the fortress.

Over a thousand Starry Sky Giant Cannons charged simultaneously, their muzzles condensing destructive dark-red light pillars.

A million meteors and a thousand light pillars wove together perfectly in the Void Realm, turning into a lethal beam of light over ten thousand feet in diameter, enough to instantly erase a medium-sized domain.

This beam carried the violent Law of destroying everything, ignoring the distance of space, like a heavenly punishment descending, it struck fiercely down toward Zhou Wannian on the Ancient Starry Sky Path.

Everywhere the beam passed, the star remnants on the Ancient Starry Sky Path were instantly vaporized. The violent energy storm tore the surrounding space into countless massive black holes.

Facing such a terrifying strike that could make the entire Chaos Star Sea look on in shock.

Zhou Wannian finally stopped his pace.

He slowly raised his head, looking at that destructive beam of light filling his entire vision. In his deep eyes, there was no fear, no panic, only an absolute calm that saw through the essence of all things.

Zhou Wannian's voice was steady, as if facing a negligible breeze.

Zhou Wannian said indifferently, "The display is quite large. Unfortunately, the power is too dispersed, and the understanding of the Law is too crude."

He did not dodge, nor did he sacrifice a half-step Xuantian Treasure.

The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art was driven to the limit at this moment. One hundred and eight time dao patternss emerged on the surface of his body, turning into a golden gauze robe woven from pure Time Law.

Zhou Wannian slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread, his palm facing the lethal beam of light striking down.

Great Perfection Space Law, Void Devour.

Great Perfection Time Law, Time Reversal.

*Buzz.*

In the instant before the light beam was about to swallow him.

The Void Realm in front of Zhou Wannian's palm suddenly distorted and collapsed strangely, forming a bottomless absolute black hole.

The destructive beam of light, which combined the power of a million meteors and a thousand giant cannons, the moment it touched the black hole, it was like a river breaking a dam, frantically pouring into that tiny black hole.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor was there any overflow of energy.

That seemingly palm-sized black hole appeared to connect to another endless Universe, greedily and calmly swallowing this power that was enough to destroy heaven and earth.

The cruel smile on Mad Axe Dao Ancestor's face froze.

He looked at this scene in disbelief. That was the strongest trump card of the Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass; even someone above a true Dao Ancestor would not dare to be so arrogant as to take it head-on, let alone swallow it with one hand.

In just three breaths of time.

That imposing lethal beam of light was swallowed completely clean by the black hole in Zhou Wannian's palm.

Peace was restored to the Ancient Starry Sky Path once again.

Zhou Wannian slowly clenched his fist, and the black hole that had swallowed the endless destructive power vanished silently in his palm.

He raised his head, looking at the terrified Mad Axe Dao Ancestor at the top of the fortress, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint, mocking smile.

Zhou Wannian said in an easygoing tone, "It is impolite not to return a favor. Since you have given me such a large gift, I should also return one to you. This fortress is built in a way that is too much of an eyesore, so there is no need to keep it."

He brought two fingers together to form a sword finger and made a plain, simple horizontal slash toward the massive Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass ahead.

There were no vast spiritual power fluctuations, only a supreme Law decree.

Great Five Elements Illusory World Art, Time Acceleration.

Space Disintegration.

*Swish.*

A transparent Law ripple flew from Zhou Wannian's fingertip, instantly sweeping across the entire Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass.

The moment this ripple brushed over the fortress.

The flow of time inside the fortress was frantically accelerated ten million times.

The originally indestructible dark-gold Starry Sky Divine Iron began to rust and decay at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those walls engraved with defensive runes peeled off in large patches like weathered sand sculptures under the erosion of time.

The hundreds of thousands of guards in the fortress didn't even have time to let out a scream before the armor on their bodies turned to ash. Their cultivation bases, of which they were so proud, were like a drop of water falling into a desert in the ten-million-fold accelerated river of time, drying up instantly. Their Physical Body and Divine Soul turned directly into dust on the spot.

"No... who on earth are you? Stop!"

Mad Axe Dao Ancestor roared in absolute terror. He frantically burned his Origin, trying to resist this erosion of time and disintegration of space.

But it was all in vain.

In the face of Zhou Wannian's perfectly self-consistent inner universe Law, any external resistance appeared pale and powerless.

Mad Axe Dao Ancestor's ten-thousand-foot-tall massive phantom rapidly shriveled within the ripple. His Physical Body began to crack, and his Dao Origin was forcibly stripped away.

In less than ten breaths of time.

That massive Abyss-Suppressing Star Pass, which had suppressed the Star Sea for countless years, along with the hundred thousand elites and a commander of the Daluo Realm Late Stage Peak inside.

Under Zhou Wannian's single finger, it completely turned into a gray-white ruin floating in the Star Sea. Not a single intact brick or stone remained, and there was not a trace of any living aura.

Only dust filled the sky, scattering as it was blown by the chaotic storm.

An instant kill.

A starry sky fortress was thus completely erased from the map of the Star Sea in an effortless manner.

Zhou Wannian lowered his right hand, his expression as composed as ever.

A golden light darted out from his sleeve. Looking at the boundless fortress ruins ahead, Golden Boy let out an excited insect cry that pierced the clouds. It turned into a bolt of golden lightning, plunging directly into the ruins to begin its most frantic feast ever.

Zhou Wannian didn't bother with Golden Boy; he took steady steps, treading on the pulverized remains of the fortress, and continued leisurely along the Ancient Starry Sky Path toward the deeper reaches of the Chaos Star Sea.
